Seminars on Joy Around the World

 

After MSIA’s Conference of the Divine Presence, John Morton extended an invitation for MSIA Seminar Leaders to choose the theme of Joy for their Soul Awareness Seminars in July and August.

Seminar Leaders worldwide responded and offered joy seminars – gatherings that were full of love, laughter and fellowship. The testimonials below attest to how we shared the joy of Spirit in our communities with the blessings of this amazing Conference. What a beautiful way to carry forward the Satsang we created together!

As J-R says, “The Soul is joyful. When you are joyful, it’s a sure sign that the Spirit is present.”

God bless all touched by these joy seminars. Enjoy!

Please contact our Seminars team at seminar@msia.org if you’d like to learn more about seminars near you.

In our Home Seminar this week (and it was one I had heard often but missed this part before,) J-R mentioned that Joy stood for Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself last. What a beautiful representation of “JOY” and here you are mentioning Joy also! The seminar was called “How Do You Know You’re on a Spiritual Path.” Much Joy to you in all you do today and always.

Our Joyful Seminar yesterday also was very special!

Spirit energy was again so present, and again, I had proven to me that the people that come are brought by The Spirit!

Silvia easily connects to people, is friendly and is almost always present.

Camila is a psychoanalist and was with us for the first time.

Julia is a volunteer for an organization that goes to the hospitals with people dressed like clowns to make children laugh!!! Her sharing was short and perfect: “I have the most perfect joyful time when I make someone laugh.”


Donna Walton, San Diego, California

I have been incorporating the quality of joy into each seminar.  We bring it in to our sharings and our seminar intention to clear all blocks that prevent joy from surfacing within ourselves.

I found a John-Roger excerpt in Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise, Volume 3, page 1238 paragraph 2:

“We are all expressions of Spirit. The Soul is Spirit individualized, manifesting through the physical body on this plane. There is nothing so sacred, so enduring, and so lasting as the God in each person’s heart. So fill your heart with the beingness of love, and let it flow like you have never let it flow before. Every day, express more and more eternal love. Release past disturbances. Be thankful, be joyful, and be now, for in this now, you will know, once again, that you are the promised one.”

I have read this several times in the beginning of the seminar.  It’s very popular with us.

Our August Soul Awareness Seminar/Blessings Gathering was scheduled for last weekend – August 26th – and we had to cancel it at the last minute due to Hurricane Harvey’s arrival.  HOWEVER, we sent out an e-mail invite to the Austin community inviting them to a “virtual” inward Blessings Gathering from 1:00 to 1:30 pm on that day.  For me, going inside here, in San Antonio, and inwardly joining up with others focusing on the Light, Loving, the Traveler, and the blessings that already are for that 30 minutes, was a beautiful experience.  Carol Beau told me she was on the phone during that time with about 5 people in the Austin community, doing a cell phone conference call Soul Awareness Blessings Gathering, and it was beautiful and uplifting.


Mary Ellen Agolia, Alamagordo, New Mexico

I did have a seminar on Joy. We each shared how joy is present in our lives and the gratitude that accompanies the joy and the gifts of Spirit. There were only two of us that day. It was simple and, as always, uplifting to host a seminar and share with whoever shows up.

From Susan Wiltse, Kalamazoo, Michigan

My August seminar was Awakening to the Mystical Traveler; I was the only one present AND there is always a lot of JOY present. For September I sent out an invitation to everyone on our Light-sending list (about 50 folks). We will listen to Nuclear Radiation & Ground Zero, which Lisa Boone mentioned on a recent Heart-Thoughts email :o)


Denise Anderson, Santa Barbara, California

Yes, we did a seminar on Joy. “Activating Spiritual Flow in Communication” by John-Roger is the seminar we watched. Sandra Jewell provided the best J-R quote for the evening: “Joy: the song of the soul.” She also brought in some things she had created on the subject. I’ve attached a number of photos you can choose from, including one of Sandra and Ellie Gantt.


From Tatiana Teixeira, Belo Horizonte, Brasil

NOTE: Tatiana held two seminars on joy!

It was an amazing night… We changed the day that we usually have the Seminar for a special reason: Sheila Becker, a friend of mine, and MSIA Minister that lives in another district of the country, would be here. (The next day, we were starting a 3-day meeting of MSIA Ministers to do a “Circle Talk” about MSIA.)

So, Sheila was here, as well as Ana Márcia de Souza Araújo, Juliana (for the first time), Marina and me.

At the beginning, I mentioned some words about joy and Traveller joy… and we shared about how it impacts our lives. Then, we watched A MOP & Joy from Jamberoo, did se’s, and listened to The Golden Temple Meditation in the Joyful Meditations packet by J-R.

At the end, we shared for a long time about joy, the Initiation process, the MSIA Ministry, and the Traveller Consciousness. Ana Márcia, Juliana and Marina are on the First Year of Discourses, and it was a great opportunity to talk about this beautiful path.

At the same time, Sheila and I also prepared ourselves for the next three special days in conscious awareness of the blessings of our MSIA participation!


Inger Hansen, Victoria, Canada

The Joy Seminar was really lovely, with 5 people attending, two for the first time. One person commented how refreshing it was to be in a positive environment.

After calling in the Light and setting the spiritual tone of Joy, we shared our contributions. This was followed by a J-R Moment of Joy, then the meditation “Practicing the Divine Presence”.

After the meditation, sitting in a circle we shared our experiences of Joy – Past, Present or Future. I closed the meeting as we stood in a circle, holding hands and calling in the Joy to be with us as we went into the world.

We continued sharing, answered questions about MSIA while having refreshments. It was a lovely evening.

Soul Awareness Home Seminars ARE fun. They are JOY! I recently was told an interpretation of the word JOY:  “Nothing stands between Jesus and You!”

In the months of July and August, we used the word JOY to celebrate our gathering together in the ONENESS. My biggest recall of the seminars was one of laughter and Light heartedness!  Yes, JOY was in the room! Our gatherings are very small and intimate and JOY comes forward very easily!

Some testimonials:

“My experience of the J-R home seminar was one of laughter and validation. I saw the value of being with others in loving, I laughed, I cried. I felt validated in the beauty of being a loving person!” -AS

“The home seminar was relaxing and joyful. J-R has a great wit to delight and I felt reset, recentered, recalibrated into the loving that I am!  The community of like-minded people supports and reinforces my sense of feeling good exactly as I am. I am thankful to participate in the cozy, welcoming home seminars. I feel refreshed and balanced to proceed forward in life.” -LH

I have been having these gatherings monthly and we have had some people new to MSIA join in on the fun!

Anyone passing through the Ottsville, PA area is welcome to come join in on the fun!

In loving service, Sue Walski
